The show focuses on the life and artistic career of Liliana Castagnola, the diva of the Cafè Chantant. The love of her life was the young Antonio de Curtis, the Neapolitan actor whose stage name was Totò. By pretending to conduct an investigation, a marshall gathers the accounts of those who had known her and constructs a profile based on historical facts and reports of the period. The show takes the audience on an unusual journey with shades of film noir that tells of constraints and ostentation, passion, rancour and prejudice.
